a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Providing a link to download the source is a customarily used medium for software interchange, and thus perfectly fine,].
Also instead of not changing focus when the username is filled, I would prefer only setting focus when nothing else has focus (if this is even possible).
I agree 100% on the 'require a mouseclick is evil'
since the current default is for none of the fields to have focus your not entering you data anywhere.
You click on the username and enter your username, press tab and start entering your password. (while checking that the password field has focus)
When you log on you have to enter your user name first so why would you start typing in your password before it loads?
Because some pages takes ages to load for example.
And isn't typing in your password blind the actual security risk?
No, because I checked the password field had focus when I started typing. However the 'feature' you suggested stole the focus and put it to username field. Any manipulation of the focus is *evil*.
And Firefox does the same thing. If I don't have Shockwave installed and I navigate to a website that contains Flash content I will be presented with a little yellow information bar telling me that there is content on the page that requires a plug-in and asks me if I want to install that plug-in. Is there any browser that doesn't do this by default?
There's still a difference. In Firefox, if you click "yes", it will send you to Adobe's download page for Flash; but you still need to initiate the download manually, and then run the downloaded installer. In IE, if you click "yes", it immediately downloads the ActiveX binary and executes it, all by itself.
This is a flaw in how IE handles ActiveX downloads , not an inherent flaw in ActiveX. It would be easily imaginable for Firefox to do the same. Also firefox does install XPIs after clicking yes so the whole point is more specific to how both browsers handle flash than any inherent difference in their plugin architectures.

Big deal, just use Vista where you'll get a UAC dialog for everything by default. That will 'fix' this issue.
Getting screwed out of it can be a really big hit for some of us.
You aren't getting screwed out of anything, they call it a bonus for a reason. Assuming the bonus will be a certain amount is just bad bookkeeping.
If it has syntax, it isn't user friendly.
